Team GB bobsleigh member John Baines says that his team "really stood up to the mark" after finishing 12th in the four-mean event

Team GB bobsleigh member John Baines has said that his team "really stood up to the mark" after finishing 12th in the four-man event at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

Great Britain achieved a combined time of 1:50.53 on Saturday, 0.18 seconds behind third-placed Germany.

Baines told Team GB's official website: "We always aim to be within a tenth of the world's best on the start. That was our aim and we met it. Andrew [Matthews] has stepped in over the last few weeks and really stood up to the mark.

"Being on the back of the sled in the two-man, it is almost individual because the driver does his thing and you get in the back of that sled and just hit it as hard as you can, whereas in the four-man, the guys in the back work together and push together."

The final two runs will take place at the Games on Sunday.
